Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

**Dubizzle scraper** for UAE property and used cars. Each row is one listing: asking price in AED, area, size, seller type, and photos. Search property for rent, property for sale, or used cars, or paste a results URL. Use it as a **Dubizzle API alternative** from **Python**, **Node.js**, **cURL**, or **Apify MCP**.

**Best for:** Dubai rental and sale leads, used-car asking prices, and a scheduled run that saves only new ads and price changes.

### When to use this Actor

- **Dubai rentals** — Leave Search URLs empty. Section Property for rent, Emirate Dubai.
- **Sales or used cars** — Switch the section. Add a keyword such as marina or a make name.
- **A results page you already opened** — Paste the Dubizzle search URL. Section and keyword are ignored when Search URLs is set.
- **New ads and price cuts** — Turn on monitor mode and schedule the same search. The first run stores a baseline and saves nothing. Later runs save new listing ids and price changes.

### When not to use this Actor

- **Phone numbers or email** — The row only says whether WhatsApp or a phone contact is offered. The number is not collected.
- **Egypt or other country sites** — This Actor reads UAE Dubizzle hosts.
- **A full-city dump in one run** — Cap `maxItems` (350) and `maxPages` (10). Split by section or keyword.

### Key features

- **Search hits** — Title, AED price, rent period, city, neighbourhood, beds, baths, size, seller type, and photos. Residential UAE proxy and a browser session. Default **2048 MB**.
- **Property and motors** — Rent, sale, or used cars.
- **Pasted URL** — Any `dubizzle.com` search URL.
- **Monitor** — Named key-value store of listing id and last price. The seed run opens one page and saves no rows.

### FAQ

**Does this collect phone numbers?**
No. `hasPhone` and `hasWhatsapp` only say that a contact button exists.

**Why residential proxy?**
The site returns an interstitial on a datacenter IP. The default proxy is residential UAE.

**What does monitor mode save?**
The first run stores ids and prices and writes no dataset rows. The next run saves new ids and price changes.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
